Gus Hiddink

Hiddink is another on the World Cup managerial carousel, but in this case linked to the Holland job after the summer. The former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss has an impressive reputation across the globe and is likely to have a number of other suitors. After the Russian experiment at Anzhi failed to ever materialise, a return to familiarity and unfinished business in England could be the answer. Newcastle’s reputation would intrigue a man like Hiddink, and with the promise of financial backing this could potentially form a major coup for the club.
